The Pied Piper meets The Cruel Prince and Throne Of Glass in this dark fairy-tale retelling romantasy.

Her Duty: to Protect.

His Mission: to Conquer.

Her secrets will destroy him.

His heart? Already intertwined.

In a world where magical creatures like the fae are thought extinct, arena warrior Morana is forced to become the bodyguard of the cunning, ruthless, egotistical and let's not forget, achingly handsome prince of Apollo. Morana would rather be in the arena instead of guarding a prince whose arrogance makes her want to put a blade to his throat, but refusal isn't an option. One wrong move and her found family pays the price.

Yet as the threats against Prince Adrion escalate—from vampire spies to necromancers raising the dead—Morana finds herself growing closer to him, their reluctant alliance turning into something neither of them can ignore. These dangerous encounters also force her to use her suppressed powers. Through her violin she manipulates shadows to help them escape impossible situations and though her purpose is to protect him, her greatest challenge resides in accepting her identity and facing a truth she's long denied. For years, Morana convinced herself she is nothing but a warrior, but as shadows obey her call, the truth resurfaces. She is the last being of her kind, sworn enemy to the Kingdom of Apollo.

Morana has fought beside the prince, bled for him, even loved him. But if Prince Adrion learns what she truly is, will he see the warrior who saved his life- or the monster he was raised to destroy?
